Reclaiming My Strength

Oh, it's been a long, long afternoon

Burdened by the past, trapped in the gloom

Ghosts whispering memories, echoing cries

I’m breaking the silence, I’m ready to rise

Tears like raindrops fall, washing away

The scars of a life where love lost its way

The cargo bay’s empty, just remnants of pain

Distant reminders that still feel like chains

I hear you screaming, your demands like a knife

But I will not carry these shadows for life

With every torn piece, I’m reclaiming my name

I’m done with your fury, I’m moving through flame

I’m not your punching bag, I’m breaking the mold

Fighting the fear, stepping out of the cold

With every load tossed, I feel my heart soar

I’m freed from the chains, I'm ready for more

Old clothes in the dumpster, like ghosts in the night

Haunting my steps, but I'm finding my light

Memories rushing, like waves in the storm

But I’m ripping the past, I’m starting to form

You thought I was weak, that I’d always obey

But I found my strength in the ashes today

With every piece torn, I’m shedding your power

I’m planting my roots, I’m blossoming flower

I’m not your punching bag, I’m breaking the mold

Fighting the fear, stepping out of the cold

With every load tossed, I feel my heart soar

I’m freed from the chains, I'm ready for more

Angels surround me, they whisper, "Believe"

In the chaos I’m rising, no longer deceived

With courage I’m armed, my spirit ablaze 5

The echoes behind me no longer amaze

I’m not your punching bag, I’m breaking the mold

Fighting the fear, stepping out of the cold

With every load tossed, I feel my heart soar

I’m freed from the chains, I'm ready for more

So here I stand strong, no longer a pawn

With courage and grace, I’m moving beyond

It’s been a long afternoon, but I see the dawn

My heart’s now a warrior, forever reborn.
